Jazz may have lost, but Celtics shot over 60% off the field on 2nd. Could have very well ended other way around. Now we also know to build around Nurkic. Untouchable!

Is the tank alive and well or was this fools gold?

It was a close game against a good team.
The tank is still in danger
I hope Ace comes back soon so we dont have to watch TH/Cody for this many mnutes. He isnt driving our winning any more than those guys are, but he is hell of a lot more fun to watch.
Also Flip is falling out of my favor for his horrible fundamentals around the defensive glass. **** like this just cant happen.

Thats a late half-assed perimeter contest 10ft from the rim which was nearly a gifted shooting foul, followed by not even trying to either block out or go get the rebound. A big man needs to understand he cant contest shots that way so close to the rim.

Tankers are ecstatic, of course, but I thought this was a terrible game in many respects.
The L is one thing, but we sat Svi and Love and gave the youngins tons of minutes without any accountability. They responded accordingly. Lazy defense (some of the worst of the season), sloppy passing, generally acting entitled like they were the best team in the NBA and didn't need to take a team like Boston seriously. This is exactly the type of game that teaches young guys to lose.
Flip, Walt and Brice were all awful. Cody and Taylor looked like the hopeless G-League players that they are. So done with them.
All the fight we saw came from the few veterans plus Keyonte, who scored a bunch but defensively had one of those bizarre "He couldn't take one more step to cut off that driving lane??!?" games.
Just a gutless performance by the "youth movement". Derrick White had 27/7/6/7. He's good but not that good. Have some pride.

Truly one of the worst games I've ever seen from Flip. He looked like he was playing stoned.
